He, he, that bit about passengers being well-advised to use the facilities on the the plane reminded me of Philly International. I was dropping a friend off recently, and she mentioned (heatedly, and at length) how pathetic it is that there are nearly as many toilets on the aircraft as there are in any given terminal at PHL. And this in a major metro airport. Did people not pee back when PHL was built? Or did the misguided thinking that held that crudely cast concrete is aesthetically pleasing also extend to restroom facilities?
It's no wonder that every employee there seems depressed and demoralized, what with the horrible food (if you can find it), the loud and depressing architecture, nowhere to pee, the security screening areas slapped together with scraps of drywall, and yes, panhandlers in the baggage claim area.
